Energy Efficiency - Don't Forget This!
Comments (18)Hey Oberon!! can you drop me an email?? what I would like to see is homes designed with the ductwork in the conditioned space, then duct leakage would be to the interior of the house and not the exterior. there are so many real world problems with duct leakage/return leakage and so many oversized units to make up for the leakage. HO gets 5 tons on 2500 sq ft home..if house leakage were reduced and duct and return leakage reduced to 5% then unit is oversized... one of the biggest misnomers is that a bigger unit is better. what really happens is that unit short cycles costs more to use per month, doesn't run long enough to remove humdidty..and because of all the stops and starts has a shortened life. high efficient hvac is only as good as the install. in my latest training class they did a calculation that blew me away... I've seen a lot of home with R-38 attic insulation, with attic staircase in the conditioned space. so when uninsulated attic staircase is included with little to no R-value the overall attic insulation is reduced to R-25...now throw a bunch of IC rated recessed cans (not air tight ICAT) one equals one sq ft of uninsulated attic..what do you have now??? insulation that can't perform because of air movement through the insulation.. efficiency always costs more upfront, but it is the length of time it takes to pay back that cost that makes one option preferable to another. green is 80% energy efficiency and 20% everything else (joe lstriburek of buildingscience.com) I would like to see an energy efficiency forum here....See MoreSurvivor SPOILER - don't look if you haven't watched
Comments (17)I was glad Bob won. I think Susie was a deserving second place. Susie gets dogged for riding coattails, but middle age/older females generally don't do well in this game. They aren't physical and usually they don't get much resect from the youngsters. Slow and steady gets it. She was useful around camp. She won two immunity challenges. I wouldn't have been upset if she won because she did what it took to stay in the game. She was a little annoying, but not really mean like some of the others. That tribal council was one of the worst I've seen. I didn't expect that many people other than Randy and Corrine to be so bitter. Crystal redeemed herself. She had a lot of graciousness and just admitted she sucked. I really figure out what was up with Charlie and his cuddling. I liked him better before that. I'd expect Marcus to be more gracious. I was reading some stuff about Charlie, Marcus, and Corrine coordinatng outfits for tribal council. I started watching for it last night. That was too funny....See MoreDon't forget rabbit rabbit! - 10/31
Comments (34)Not sure if this is good or bad luck. After I typed the above I went to the kitchen to feed the dogs, and when I looked down I saw what appeared to be a bit of cat throw-up. I grabbed a paper towel and scooped it up, and since I always look to make sure the throw-up is normal, what I picked up was a half dead scorpion in a little bit of dust! DS sprayed between the dishwasher and cabinet where I saw spiders come out of, so the scorpion must have walked through the barrier line. I can't believe I didn't get stung, the poison must have gotten his tail first. :) We don't spray where animals or humans walk....See MoreDon't forget Survivor!
Comments (18)Kellee gave her idol to Dean and made him promise to vote for Jack. Then she voted for Dean so she could honestly say she did. She’s very clever, I hope she finds another idol. I’m wondering what next week’s social justice lesson will be or are they done now? LOL I’m petty, I like it better when they really argue. I think it was clever of Kellee to put Jamal on defense like that. Not that it hurt him any, but that whole fire making thing at camp would have ticked me off, too....See More- 4 years ago
4 years agoIf it's down to just 8 players then 7 of them should watch out for the person who still has the most meat on their bones, that person could win more challenges.....and could be the most delicious one of the bunch.
